Tottenham didn't value him enough but Arteta saw his potentials and went for him. A hat trick today was expected after his second goal. Eze did a marvelous work, it was indeed a well deserved win by the leader of the table. Arsenal's performance was more than enough they were able to penetrate spurs defense quite easily and as for the 1 goal they conceded that was all from Spurs, even while watching the game, they was no other tactic for spurs to score Arsenal other than the kind of ball that kissed the gunner's net.

Eberechi Eze is MOTM for the game against Tottenham in the North London Derby. This is the kind of game that bring tension and there's absolutely everything to be grateful for in this game. The Gunners run riot when they hosted Tottenham Hotspur, a win was always important and necessary. Mikel Arteta and his boys have just boosted their chance to win the English Premier League title and they're never going back to struggle for the league title. Spurs conceded more goals because they couldn't defend their territory and withstand the pressure of the home team.

Arsenal is sitting comfortably at the top with a 6-point lead, opened up the gap between themselves and their rivals as early as the 12th week. Today in the derby they scored 4 goals against their arch-rivals Tottenham and sent a strong message to all their opponents. They are saying that no matter what happens this season, we will win. Eberechi Eze made a hat-trick. He had only scored 1 goal this season, but he shone in this match. He was signed from Crystal Palace with high expectations, he is finally contributing to the score.

It was a really dominant display from Arsenal against Tottenham hotspur tonight, they controlled the game from the starting to the end and they were rewarded with four goals at the end. And for Eberechi Eze, what a player he is, he really showed class tonight against Tottenham, this is a player who was almost close to joining Tottenham during last summer transfer windows but later things took a U-turn and he signed for Arsenal and tonight in his first north London derby he ended up scoring a hat trick against Tottenham, the club he almost joined. Congratulations to Arsenal for a well deserved victory against Tottenham.

Well deserved win for the Gunners, this team look serious this time around and there consistency this time is a top notch, i think i will have Arsenal in all my football gambling game to always win they are not disappointing for now.

Arsenal are getting closer to the tittle, teams that are to challenge them are not showing any consistency at all Liverpool and Manchester City lost their game respectively yesterday Chelsea also who is above City with 1 point and second in the league is not also consistent to challenge for the tittle so this can possibly be an opportunity for Arsenal to win the English Premier league tittle.

I think it is good to have fresh threads about big European leagues. Because indeed such threads related to those leagues have turned into mega threads and people have to post there when they want to discuss a topic related to the leagues. I also know those two alternative EPL subjects @Despairo mentioned but they aren't the same with this one technically.

One of them is a pool thread on which only pool participants are allowed to make posts. The other one is a self-moderated thread and not everyone is keen on posting on such threads as far as I can see.

It is actually nice to have fresh threads for the big European leagues again the old ones got so huge that every discussion had to be crammed into the same place and yeah there are a couple of other EPL threads but they are not really the same one is only for the people in the pool and the other is self moderate which a lot of people don’t like posting in new thread just make it easier and more comfortable for everyone to join conversation.

Arsenal are currently at the top of the table, I just hope they going to continue with their good performance. Arsenal is having opportunity to win the premier league title this season, I just hope they not going to ruin things up at the end of the season. Arsenal is at the first position, and are currently ahead of Chelsea which is in second position with 6 points, Arsenal should just make sure they keep on winning their matches so that no club will be able to take over the first position from them.

Games like this gives Manchester United the chance of rising back into the top four clubs leading the Premier League table. This is the reason why he was brought in to replace Kai Harvertz. Congratulations to the boys they're playing with a lot of intentions towards winning the Premier league competition and with most of their players not well fit and in good shape, they have taken up responsibilities quite well. Mikel Arteta getting the backing of his management is wonderful,  they have helped him come to this level. Now, winning the Premier league should be a must for these players.

Yep, Arsenal stays in the top of EPL table and they are leading with bigger point gaps. Even if they played without real strikers, they still could win the match with many goals. I think it is the sign that they possibly can maintain their good performance in the whole of the season. Other big teams in EPL are also performing inconsistently now, it is surely a big chance for Arsenal to win the EPL trophy. Even if Man City and Chelsea are trying to compete Arsenal. But they aren't in their best performance this season. So, it shouldn't be so difficult for Arsenal to keep staying in the first place. Well, I don't see any reason that Arsenal will fail again to win the EPL trophy. If there is no significant change in the performance of EPL teams, Arsenal must win the EPL trophy this season.

I read this analysis that I want to do somewhere else and I am buying into the idea because there is a clear road map of what is playing out. Those people that are waiting for Arsenal to go trophyless this season could end up being disappointed. This is because Arsenal has changed their pattern of starting the season and it therefore means that they will also change their pattern of ending the season.

If you are very observant you will know that Arsenal used to start the season with a very great form and there will be suspend the form till the middle of the season and towards the end of the season they will drop drastically from that great form. But this time around it seems that something different is playing out. As someone has mentioned that I read but I cannot remember the person, Arsenal did not start with great form which means before the season ends they are going to pick to their great form and when that from enters they will suspend it till the end of the season. This will win them the English Premier League.

The only reason, that will make Arsenal win it all is because of the act of consistency, and other teams to be inconsistent with their play. If Arsenal can maintain this play till the end of the season I believe they will definitely win the league this season. The only thing they need to do is to continue like this, as they have already started the season so well. Let's expect them to continue like this.
The teams that is behind them is Chelsea and Manchester City and we can still tell that, the gap is still much for them to keep up. Good game for Arsenal and I think they deserve the flowers for their win over tottenham in tonight game.

Arsenal haven’t given me much reason for doubt this season. Just seeing how they were able to handle their games and player rotations through the many injured players on the team while, maintaining good results up to this point in the league, that should indicate something. This team has looked backed at where they got it wrong last season and have made amends.
The only tough game they’ve had all season has been Sunderland, other than that, it’s most unlikely that they would drop any major points anytime soon.

We are almost coming to the middle of the premier league and Arsenal are still dominating the league. At first most persons say they are not going to last on the top of the table, but still we are still seeing them top the table, and I believe they will still continue to top to the middle of the season.
Arsenal defeated Tottenham with 4 goals to 1 at home, and this win was very comfortable, as E. Eze was again put arsenal to the line of winning tonight game.
Arsenal has been the only team to me, that have shown the level of hunger to win the title this season, and my only worries is for them not to repeat what they have done almost at the end of the season.

[TelolettOm]

Liverpool are only at their best against Real Madrid because that's something they're proud of, so they only win against Real Madrid. But beyond that, especially in the Premier League, their performance, frankly, hasn't been optimal. There were many missed chances, and there were many things that didn't align with their tactics.

Looking at Liverpool's performance against Real Madrid in the Champions League, we were a little optimistic that the team had found its usual rhythm, but we were shocked again when Liverpool were humiliated by Nottingham Forest at Anfield. This defeat was due to their poor attack. Although they had several scoring opportunities, they failed to capitalize on them, and the defense was made to struggle by the Nottingham Forest players. If this situation continues, I'm sure Liverpool will be under increasing pressure, and Arne Slot is getting closer to leaving his coaching position.

Exactly, they're poor in attack effectiveness and sharpness. They have very high attacking stats. Even their attempt had 20 shots, just imagine, 20 shots is not a small number. But the shots on target? This is very different, only 3 shots on target. This is really poor. Yes, they are weak in defense, and their defense is also very bad, not sharp, and ineffective, making many mistakes and wasting opportunities.

Yes, all on track at the moment. Arsenal currently has to maintain its performance so far; they look confident in this derby, and play offensively when the whistle is blown. Maybe because their rival, Liverpool, and the city are not playing well, thus motivating them to get 3 points at Emirates. Eze surprises us by scoring a hat trick tonight. This was beyond expectations because of his position behind Bukayo Saka. He is not a real attacker, but his movement is able to mess around in front. If this formation stays well until the end of the season, Arsenal will get the Premier League trophy in 2026.

[SatoPrincess]

Good morning everyone! Well… except Liverpool fans 
I just don’t get it. Is Liverpool really that weak right now, or is Nottingham suddenly that strong? 
Losing 0–3 at home… yeah, it’s been a long time since I’ve seen something like that.

Is Arne Slot really that bad of a coach? Or what’s actually going on here?

Hahaha Liverpool thought they were going to be invincible this season. You don’t get it that easy in the premier league. Liverpool are struggling this season because Arne Slot tactics is not working. The players aren’t doing well either. Salah has been underperforming since his injury; VVD is getting beat by average strikers; their new signing Isak is also having difficulty finding the back of the net. Liverpool are done for this season, Liverpool fans were mocking City last season, funny how football works.

This season's title challenge seems over for Liverpool, and I don't see them as title contenders after suffering some pretty embarrassing defeats so far. Arne Slot seems to be struggling to combine the players he has, especially some of the new players who haven't adapted yet, and this is a problem when Liverpool are struggling to cope with pressure. Most of Liverpool's players played poorly in the loss to Nottingham Forest at Anfield, and I see the mistakes coming from their inability to work together as a collective.

Out of the 9 games played we only have 1 draw which is the 2-2 between Bournemouth vs West Ham and we have just one game today, the 10th game to rap up game week 12. Manchester United are the ones hosting a David Moyes Everton who are sitted on a more better position far from the relegation side this season, it won't be one of those easy games for the Red Devils but I hope they can get a win tonight. As the only game tonight, are they going to play a draw in this game or will the Red Devils allow Everton to get a win and be level on point with them? Which is going to happen, a Manchester United playing a draw and Everton winning this game? For me I can't see the Red Devils winning this game, what your take?

[Accardo]

Mikel Arteta and his boys have just boosted their chance to win the English Premier League title and they're never going back to struggle for the league title. Spurs conceded more goals because they couldn't defend their territory and withstand the pressure of the home team.

Isn't it too early to conclude? this is only November, Arsenal is yet in another great mood to win the trophy, but nobody knows who's going to take the next lead. Arteta had a good start this season, but other clubs are really warming up and won't sit back to watch the gunners lift the trophy.  In as much as too many fans even from other clubs wants the trophy awarded to Arteta, his team, after 12 games, is only the number 1 in the table, there are more obstacles to face in the coming games which won't be simple for Arsenal. Hopefully they get to bypass them like Liverpool did in the last season and make a much better point gaps.

Only 6 points ahead of second-placed Chelsea, which is surprising considering they have only lost one of their 12 match. I would still consider them a doubt for the trophy as there are still a lot of games to go. I wouldn't be surprised if Manchester City were even higher in just a few more games. I expect Chelsea to be even more impressive, which could change the league. Not many people are expecting Liverpool to be as impressive after their big loss to Nottingham. I think Liverpool are unlikely to return to impressive form in the current Premier League. If they are lucky enough, they might win a few games, but I'm not optimistic about them yet.

Arsenal have been attacking strongly in every match to continue their performance from the beginning of the season and are collecting enough points. Arsenal have enough chances to become Premier League champions this season and it is very easy for them to win the trophy if they can manage their game well. They will never miss this chance but they will adopt good strategies to improve their game. Yes, all other teams are still behind by many points so to compete with Arsenal they will have to go a long way which seems very impossible to me at the moment. Since Arsenal is currently the leader with 6 points, all other teams will not be able to collect these points, I think Arsenal is the favorite for the EPL trophy this season.

If arsenal lose this title there will no one to blame but themselves, this opportunity those not come anytime soon, the other title contender are having a hard time, arsenal is strong in all positions especially in attacking position, arsenal is a very balance team.
I just hope they remain top by the end of January, then it will be verified that they are champions in waiting.

Liverpool is really weak right now. Even you are aware how their stats have been moving down sharply, which mean how pathetic their performance are. They were a team that played gaganpressing last season, but changed their way to focus on idiotic possession this season.
Meanwhile, their players are not even good to play possession football, which lead them to the terrible result.

Other than that Slot is not good, but he's a mid level coach. His success last season came from a dynamic squad by Kloop's squad legacy. However, you can see how he's finding it so difficult to adjust the squad to meet his taste of tactic due to his recent changes in the players composition.
Things worst with how Slot ever said on his interview if he would never change his tactic. So this is gonna worst year for them.
